As always, there will be a complete pump up room with plenty of weights.

We will have treats for you including but not limited to; pop tarts, fruit, cookies, candies, granola

bars Gatorade water, etc.…

I’m very proud to have the BEST expeditors (Red Shirts) in the business to help you feel

comfortable and answer any questions you may have, and of course to keep you on time. They are

here to serve you, our customer.

The entire show will be run on a posted schedule. Each class will be time stamped. You will know

when your class will be on stage. Please go to npcmilesproductions.com to see the schedule. This

will be up on the website by 11:00 AM Friday morning.

You will receive a tremendous amount of time on stage. Body Builders, Men’s Classic Physique

and Women’s Physique will be showcased by walking down some steps in funky cool moving

lights with a smoke machine going off in the back ground. While this is happening, the MC will

be reading off your bio. When this is all done then you the athlete will perform your posing

routine to your music. Bikini, Figure and men’s Physique will perform a fun Model or Athletic

walk on stage while your Bio (provided by you) is read on stage. Once that is done you will not

leave the stage until the trophies are handed out. The whole class will come to what we call the

“line of victory”.

We have Live Streaming for both prejudging and finals available for your family and friends who

are not able to attend.

Dear Athletes & Fans:

The NPC Natural Outlaw will be in Tucson, AZ on March 23rd, the week after the NPC Natural

Western USA in Mesa, AZ March 15th & 16th. The NPC Natural Western USA is a great show to

do before the NPC Natural Outlaw on the 23rd. You will have a week to fix the little things that

add up to BIG things. Water, carbing down, carbing up, suit or shorts, skin tone, hair, makeup and

the biggest one, STAGE PRESENCE. For example, Giorgio Giuranella competed in the NPC

Tucson show and did not make the top 5. Then the very next week at the NPC Mesa show he not

only won his class, but he won the overall! Heather Butrum took second at the NPC Tucson show,

and then the following week in Mesa won her class and the overall! Without that first show

Giorgio and Heather would not have the knowledge and the confidence to win overall titles the

following week. You worked so hard! Get two shows out of all that work.

attend the show. So, by popular request, we now have Live Streaming. Now your family and

friends can watch you live on their computer or smart phone screen at home or wherever they are.

Please have them go on the home page of npcmilesproductions.com where they will see the

directions on how to watch the show.

**NEW INFORMATION**

TO QUALIFY FOR NATIONAL COMPETITION, YOU

MUST PLACE IN THE TOP TWO IN AN OPEN CLASS.

PER NATIONAL OFFICE: ALL CLASSES CAN NOW CROSS

OVER INTO EACH OTHER.

Bodybuilding and Classic Physique can cross over into each other. If a

competitor crosses over from Bodybuilding into Classic Physique, he will

perform his routine 1 time in Bodybuilding and 1 time in Classic Physique.

“TRIPLE CROWN TROPHY” We are going to do something different this year for the NPC Miles Production Shows. It is called

the Triple Crown Trophy. To win the Triple Crown Trophy you must take first in three different

NPC Miles Production shows. We have eight shows throughout the year. The three wins can come

from any class. For example; you could win the Novice, Masters or an Open class. You can only

count one win from each show. This means if you win Novice and an Open class in the same show

only one of these wins can count toward the Triple Crown.

You must notify us ASAP when you have three firsts in three separate shows and you believe you

qualify for the Triple Crown. All Triple Crown Trophies will be given out on stage in a ceremony at

the NPC Felicia Romero/Western Regional Classic in November.

If you have two wins and are planning to compete in the Felicia Romero/Western Regional Classic

(last show of the year) for a chance on your third win, you must notify us by email three weeks

prior to competing. If you win your class at this show and qualify for a Triple Crown Trophy, find

the head expeditor, Z as you leave the stage. He is one of the red shirts and is usually wearing a

hat that has a “Z” on it. Z will give you directions on when to be on stage for the Triple Crown

Ceremony. Good luck to all, Miles and Kim Nuessle, AZ NPC Chairman Zellers and Bill Passmore,

AZ NPC Vice Chairman

Host Hotel info: Marriott Phoenix Mesa, Sheraton at Wrigley Ville, and Hilton Phoenix. Unfortunately, this is an

extremely busy time of year for the valley. We could not get a host hotel. Please try these 3 hotels they are close by.

Reserve your rooms ASAP. They are selling out fast. In your search put in (Hotels near the Mesa Arts Center, 1 East

Main St) this will bring up a map with all the hotels nearby.
